There must be a clause somewhere (or a lack of an explicit one saying the opposite) that says the NHL medical team and the AHL medical team aren't the same thing and the decisions of one don't imply the judgement of the other. AHL docs: "looks fine!" NHL docs, "We'll need a third opinion after I get back from Maui."

Pretty sure it works like this...player is not cleared to play and requires conditioning to evaluate health. Player is sent to scrub goon league to get in 'shape'. Then after recall is evaluated.

My guess is that people who were upset about the Corrado situation are upset about Leivo of Sosh for similar reasons and less because of "potential cap manipulation". Then again, we do have some fucking stunned fans.

From an Athletic article today about how Marner's addition to Kadri's line has give n the Leafs some of that danger they had last season:

Babcock has recently veered away from hard matching Kadri against top lines and has instead split those duties up between the 27-year-old and Matthews.

“It hasn't been as much as hard matching as it has been six against six,” Babcock explained before the game against the Lightning, a fun back-and-forth tilt that gave the Leafs their eighth win in the last nine games. “We decided, basically, that we felt either group could do it and it gave better flow off our bench.”

2. Max Domi scored his fourth of the year to open Arizona’s stunning 6–1 victory over Chicago on Monday night. It has been a hard year for the talented forward. The Coyotes are prepared to give him a fresh start, pending a fair offer. If it doesn’t come before the deadline, expect it at the draft. I do think Montreal will took a look, but I don’t know if that’s going anywhere.

Apparently LA wants to add a 'mid-level' scoring forward. Wonder if they'd want JVR, though LA doesn't really have anything of interest that they'd be willing to part with. Would be pretty hilarious though if they traded their first, end up missing the playoffs and we won the lottery with it Blake doesn't seem that stupid though.
